They say some doors only open once. Luna lied to her father about a research trip to the Philippines. She didn't mention the impossible theory her vanished mother left behind. The pot swallowed her whole. Now she's crawling out of it into pre-colonial Madja-as during a pirate raid, where bodies fall like rain and survival isn't a skill you learn in international schools. The pot won't reopen. Her geometric tattoos burn with power she can't control. And somewhere in this brutal, beautiful world, there's a Keeper she's supposed to find. Except the Keeper is dead. Luna has spent her whole life trusting no one, needing no one, surviving alone. But here, blood soaks into communal earth. Here, warriors die with their crew's names on their lips. Here, villages share their last handful of rice. Isolation isn't strength when survival is measured in how many hands pull you back from the edge. It's extinction. The cosmic layers are fracturing. An ancient god is clawing his way back to power. And the prophecy that dragged her through time demands something she's never learned how to give: trust. She crossed time to find her mother. She found a war, a prophecy, and the reason some people never make it home. 🔗https://open.spotify.com/episode/5Q39SmQjhz2NSrzYz8NUya

In the shadow of Rome's relentless advance, two women rise from the misted lands of Britannia-one destined to rule, the other chosen by the gods. Boudicca, daughter of the Iceni, comes of age amid shifting alliances and the tightening grip of an empire that demands submission. Fierce, intelligent, and bound to her people's traditions, she must navigate a world where loyalty to kin collides with Rome's hunger for dominion. Far to the west, the young seer Luwena undergoes a waking dream that will mark her forever as Dolefren, vessel of the goddesses Andraste and Carthwyn. Sent to the sacred isle of Môn to be trained as a priestess, she walks the liminal path between mortal and divine, a bridge between the living and the voices of the ancestors. As kings fall, tribes fracture, and the Iceni crown passes to Boudicca and her husband Prasutagus, fate begins to weave their lives together. Through visions, omens, and blood-bound vows, Dolefren and Boudicca's paths entwine, drawing them toward a reckoning that will shake both empire and earth. Rooted in the history of Britannia yet alive with myth and spirit, this is a story of rebellion and prophecy, of women who carried fire against Rome-and of the gods who walked beside them.
